Imagine returning home after a demanding workday to discover spotless floors, freshly laundered clothes, and no lingering anxiety about what to prepare for dinner. This scenario might sound like an idyllic dream, yet Samsung is turning it into a tangible reality through advanced AI technology.
At CES 2026, the premier global consumer electronics conference recently held in Las Vegas, Samsung demonstrated how its AI Companions are setting a new benchmark for modern living. Rather than introducing futuristic robots that demand extra space, Samsung is ingeniously upgrading existing products—refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and mobile phones—into intelligent companions.
These companions seamlessly integrate into daily life, offering convenience, security, and care by optimising product functionality. For instance, the Bespoke AI Ultra Stick vacuum automatically adjusts suction power when transitioning from carpeted areas to hardwood floors, ensuring a thorough clean without manual intervention.
In 2026, Samsung has elevated this concept by enabling diverse products to collaborate more effectively, creating companions that learn user habits, adapt to lifestyles, and deliver meaningful experiences to reduce life's administrative burdens. Below, we explore three key areas where Samsung AI Companions are making life simpler for Australians.
1. Home Companions: Appliances That Alleviate Housework and Mental Strain
Managing a household often involves relentless mental labour—endless laundry cycles, grocery lists, and worries about whether appliances are switched off. Samsung addresses this by transforming appliances from mere tools into Home Companions that handle the cognitive load.
This shift aims to minimise decision-making and effort in busy households. As Australians adopt more cautious spending habits, cook more at home, and prioritise energy efficiency, research indicates that 67 per cent have begun using AI for household chores.
With a remarkable 69 per cent of Australians already owning smart home devices, the move towards interconnected appliances that simplify rather than complicate life reflects genuine consumer desires. Integration manifests in various ways, such as the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo Washer Dryer, which detects fabric types and soil levels to automatically select optimal cycles.
This not only ensures clean clothes but also reduces energy consumption and cycle times. Additionally, these appliances monitor their own performance, alerting users via smartphone to potential issues like blockages or leaks before they escalate into costly breakdowns.
Refrigerators like the Bespoke AI Family Hub Fridge™ track inventory, suggest recipes based on available ingredients, and generate shopping lists to curb food waste. They can even modify recipes for dietary preferences or skill levels and communicate with AI ovens to preheat and start cooking.
Samsung's 2026 Wi-Fi-enabled appliance range—including refrigerators, washing machines, ovens, and vacuum cleaners—will proactively detect problems, optimise energy use, and adapt to family schedules. Supported by seven years of software updates, these Home Companions are designed for long-term reliability.
2. Entertainment Companion: Enhanced Viewing Experiences with Minimal Effort
Samsung televisions are evolving into Entertainment Companions, leveraging AI to answer queries about shows, prioritise favourite streaming apps, and automatically adjust picture and sound based on viewing conditions. This delivers a smarter entertainment experience without constant manual tweaking.
Whether watching sports on a bright afternoon or movies on a dark evening, Samsung TVs automatically calibrate colours for vibrant visuals. The 2026 models feature Vision AI Companion, enabling natural dialogue where Australians can ask for recommendations—from fashion tips based on trends to local brunch spots—with responses enhanced by videos and images for personalised discovery.
Unlike device-specific AI, Vision AI Companion is tailored for shared living room screens, fostering family connections. Given that nearly half of Australians believe TVs help share experiences and interests with loved ones, this communal focus is particularly relevant. Regular software updates ensure compatible Samsung TVs continue to improve post-purchase without requiring new hardware.
3. Care Companion: Supporting Everyday Wellbeing and Health
Beyond home convenience, Samsung mobile devices are becoming Care Companions through Galaxy AI, which supports personal wellbeing by synthesising activity, sleep, and lifestyle data. This helps users gain insights into their health and make informed daily choices.
For example, Galaxy AI offers personalised suggestions like the Energy Score and Antioxidant Index, which adapt over time by analysing individual patterns. Long-term users benefit from alerts when routines deviate from the norm, while built-in privacy protections via Samsung Knox secure health data.
Looking Ahead: A Cohesive Smart Home Ecosystem
By focusing on a unified ecosystem rather than isolated gadgets, Samsung is realising the promise of a fully integrated smart home. For Australians, this means AI Companions work invisibly to understand contexts, adapt to environments, and take intuitive actions that streamline daily routines.
Through optimising everyday tasks, Samsung's vision for a new living standard allows people to concentrate on what they cherish most, while technology handles the minutiae. As smart home adoption grows, these innovations highlight how AI can meaningfully enhance quality of life across households.
